Diversity Conversations W/ Eric Ellis & Tommie Lewis

Recognize Your Worth | Sherry Sims on Freedom, Confidence & Career Power

Eric Ellis and Tommie Lewis

In this powerful episode of Diversity Conversations LIVE, hosts Eric Ellis (Integrity Development Corp.) and Tommie Lewis (Make It Plain Consulting) sit down with Sherry Sims, Founder of the Black Career Women’s Network, for a deep and transparent conversation about leadership, bias, and empowerment in today’s workplace.

Sherry shares her personal journey—from Oklahoma roots to corporate America—and reveals the lessons that shaped her mission to help Black women rise, lead, and thrive. Together, they unpack critical topics like:

💬 How sexism and bias still impact women of color at work
 💬 What leaders can do to build real psychological safety
 💬 When to fight, when to adapt, and when it’s time to move on
 💬 The difference between education, strategy, and self-awareness
 💬 How freedom, purpose, and faith fuel resilience

This is more than a career talk—it’s a masterclass on courage, character, and leadership transformation.

 “Keep the mindset of freedom—because when you know you have options, you’ll always recognize your worth.” — Sherry Sims, Founder, Black Career Women’s Network
